It's likely you're using kdm (default on Mandrake I think), unless you've changed it yourself. Mandrake stores it's configuration for kdm in /usr/share/config/kdmrc. This is probably the file you need to look at. It's not well commented at all, but have a look for the NoUsers= line. Should look something like: NoUsers=adm,apache,bin,bind,daemon,exim,falken,ftp,games,gdm,gopher,halt,httpd, ingres,kmem,lp,mail,mailnull,man,mta,mysql,news,nobody,nscd,operator,pop, postfix,reboot,root,rpc,rpcuser,sendmail,shutdown,squid,sympa,sync,tty,uucp, xfs,xten, Including all the users you don't want to show up in the kdm menu. Might be another issue though if you've lost the shutdown, reboot buttons. Have a look at that file anyway and see if anything looks relevant. If you're using xdm or gdm, Mandrake stores the config info in /etc/X11/xdm, and /etc/X11/gdm. The config files are in these directories.
